Example Setup

Create a class for each day of the Advent of Code challenge. The class should inherit from the BaseChallenge class and implement the SolvePartOne and SolvePartTwo methods.

public class Day4 : BaseChallenge
{
    private readonly string Input;

    public Day4()
    {
        Input = LoadInput(File.ReadAllText, nameof(Day4));
    }

    public override string SolvePartOne()
    {
        throw new NotImplementedException();
    }

    public override string SolvePartTwo()
    {
        throw new NotImplementedException();
    }
}

Troubleshooting

• Make sure to place the input files in the right folder. The input files should be named dayXX.txt, where XX is the day number.
• Make sure to set input files to "copy if newer" so that they get copied to the output folder accordingly.
